Which do you think is more accurate for calculating calorie burn?
Map my run is much higher than MFP.

I always found Mapmyride to over calculate calories for my ride. I say that because if I went to the mapmyride website, and had it recalculate the calories, they would be lower. This happened after an update years back, and was not fixed in subsequent updates, so I stopped using mapmyride or any other mapmy fitness apps. I use Endomondo right now, and the burns are much lower, although I think some of them for things like weight training are high.0

MapMyRide calculates in the calories that you would be burning anyways just by living. MFP already calculates these calories into your calorie goal so it would be double counting it.0
